4 bed terraced house for sale

Marley Way, Rochester ME1

Tucked away on Marley Way, this cleverly extended four bedroom terrace pairs clean modern finishes with a practical layout, giving you easy living close to Rochester’s historic High Street, the station and the river. The frontage sets the tone with a wide driveway for two cars and a bay window that floods the lounge with morning light. Inside, soft neutral tones, original timber doors and a crisp dado line create a calm backdrop for everyday life.

At the rear, the reworked kitchen diner is the heart of the home. Exposed painted ceiling joists add character, three warm pendant lights draw the eye over the island, and a sleek hob set into the worktop keeps the conversation flowing while you cook. A side door opens straight out to the garden, handy for summer suppers and muddy boots. Off the hall, a contemporary ground floor shower room serves guests and busy mornings with ease, finished with large format tiles, a walk-in enclosure and a statement basin.

Upstairs are four bedrooms arranged around a bright landing. The main bedroom is a comfortable double, two further rooms work well for children or guests, and the fourth is ideal as a nursery or compact home office. A neat first floor cloakroom means no midnight trips downstairs.

The garden has been landscaped into tiers, ready for planting and play, with brick and timber detailing, fruit trees and broad sky views over the neighbouring rooftops. It is an honest outdoor space, enclosed and low maintenance, with plenty of scope to personalise.

Double glazing, gas central heating and an overall footprint of around 777 sq ft complete the picture. From here you can wander down to the castle and cathedral, meet friends on the High Street, pick up fast rail links to London from Rochester station, and make the most of riverside walks and well regarded local schools. It is a home that works hard in all the right places, with character where it counts and convenience on tap.
